Robbery at Jupiter Sound in Seattle

Post by kdarr » Mon Oct 19, 2009 2:33 pm

A list of the stolen gear:

2 Neumann M147s, 2 vintage AKG C414EBs, Royer R122, 2 Crown CM700s, Oktava ML52 Ribbon, Lots of SM57s and SM58s, AKG D12E, and a Mac G5, Radial J48 Active DI Box, Proco DI Box, ProTools 8 HD TDM Software.

All stolen early today from Jupiter Studios in Wallingford, Seattle, WA.
I'm going to try and get a hold of the studio & see if they have serial numbers logged anywhere.

Keep your eyes peeled, and be careful with your security, guys.

That sucks. My band mixed our second album there a couple of years ago and it was a great place. I hope they find the bastards that did this.

Somebody emailed me about the robbery a couple days ago. I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

I'll spread the word to all my students--at least 50 more pairs of eyes looking out for this gear. We lost a single 4050 last spring and it sucked. I can't imagine what this must feel like.
